Chicken and Rice

  • 1.5-2Lbs Chicken (I use thighs, breasts should work)

  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 3.5 cups chicken broth
  • 1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice 
  • 1 ½ cups white rice

  • 1 cup parmesan cheese
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt plus more or less to taste
  • ¼ teaspoons black pepper plus more or less to taste
  1. Set instant pot to saute and melt butter
  2. Add onion and garlic, cook until onion soft (~3 minutes)
  3. Add chicken turn/cook until outside is no longer pink (~5 minutes)
  4. Add rice, lemon juice, chicken broth. Stir
  5. Pressure cook on high for 8 minutes
  6. Natural release for 2 minutes, then quick release (rice will be a bad texture if you leave it too long)
  7. Add parmesan, salt, and pepper
